DO NOT BE FOOLED by all of the decor and think this is a good place to get your teeth cleaned. I went there today as a new patient, got the xrays, and everything seemed fine. Then came the initial sales pitch for teeth whitening, vaneirs, etc. After that they looked at my teeth the dentist left. This was already the second dentist that I had seen. ?Now, the front desk girl came in and sat next to me to tell me I needed deep cleaning and it would cost $900. She said my insurance would cover half. Then I informed her that I just had this deep cleaning less than a year ago. She said oh well then they won't cover any of it because they only pay for it once every three years so I would have to pay the full $900 out of pocket. ?She then pitched Care Credit.
At that point I just wanted a regular teeth cleaning and would come back for the deep clean later if I was interested. ?To that she responded that the dentist would not give me any other service including a regular cleaning unless I paid them $900 for a deep cleang. ?WHAT!?!?!? ?She told me that it puts the dentist at a huge liability if she were to clean my teeth without the $900 depp cleaning. HUH? How would it put the dentist at a liability to remove plaque from my teeth and give me a flouride treatment without a deep cleaning? ?When I started to get up and walk out, she told me that she really thinks I should get this deep cleaning because it's proven that the germs in my gums can cause Diabetes and other diseases like Liver Disease when swallowed over time and she wouldn't want that to happen to me. ?LOL! I work in the gym business and she's telling me if I don't get this $900 deep gum cleaning I could get Diabetes or Liver disease? What a joke!
So... I visit another dentist in the suburbs today and guess what? I do not need a deep cleaning and it turns out that it was alla scam. ?I got my teeth cleaned and I'm in great health. ?My advice; DO NOT EVER GO TO ART OF MODERN DESTISTRY and get sccammed that they tried to scam me.
